Weird Wacom Icon

Have a wacom intuous 3 ...Windows Vista...only Elements 5 (until b-day, then the grown up version) -- anyway, when I'm putting light pressure during brush mode I keep on getting this hand icon, with "drag down" or Drag Right, left,or up and an arrow -- depending which way I'm stroking on the tablet....anyone know why this could be happening? It seems to only be happening when I'm applying less than 100% pressure (which is why I got the Intuous in the first place!)
